Causes and Remedies of Dowry System in India

Abstract

Dowry is the wealth or properties that when the wife and husband marry, the family of a bride or wife gives her spouse in certain cultures. In India, the dowry system can be seen as the cause for this question if one speaks of gender discrimination. It is a common belief that a woman is a burden and is to be married off someday, according to the infrastructure of the social country, with a dowry burden at disposal. Well, the birth of a girl is an initiation to long-term plans for the crowds to pay off the dowry along with the child. Seemingly, this protection project hampers the capacity of the girl and limits her to the true equality of the male boy.The present paper is an attempt to investigate the dowry law in general as a social issue. It was stressed that the most successful solution is to bring knowledge through community and educational awareness against this evil scheme. In order to fight against the dowry scheme, there is also the need to expand women's education.
